Beautiful CD and inspiring. Heard it first at a Yoga training and it felt like arriving back at home.

I'm very new to Kirtan. But I stumbled onto this CD here at Amazon and just fell in love instantly with Jai's soft, tender voice.
I don't even understand any of the words or know why they are sung...but I DO know is I felt instantly wrapped in a silky, fluffy cloud of serenity, joy, and sweet mesmerizing serenity.
My favorite is Shri Krishna Govinda. It is a soothing lullaby-like song and really transports the listener to a relaxed, blissful state. Especially the last minute of it.
Beautiful, mind-expanding album!

This is ok but it's not very relaxing... I would classify this music as a bollywood soundtrack.
